help with Wine install

[mamba76]

How do I properly set up Wine so that I have 2 distinct folders - wine32 & wine64 ?
When I run a certain win32 application it default installs to "/home/me/.wine/drive-c/Program Files (x86)".
How can I ensure when I run a 32 bit installer that Wine will associate with it the relevant 32 bit dependencies ?
I would greatly appreciate step by step copy/paste commands but also a brief comment / explanation of the purpose, also
I think its best to do a clean install of wine 7 so how do I completely remove it? (

Code: Select all

sudo find / -iname *wine* rm -r

) ? (as nothing else named wine)
Thank you

Lots of good information here https://www.reddit.com/r/wine_gaming/co ... t_install/

I have both original .wine and wine32 folders on my system but I have to look up the instructions about how to install 32 bit apps every time I need to. It's usually

Code: Select all

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/.wine32 wine your-program

in the terminal.

Incidentally, installing wine 7 over wine 6 the other day required a restart after installation to get everything working again. No 64 bit wine programs worked until I did this, although the 32 bit ones did. Also had to re-download mono (which was automatically requested). No problems after that.

same here. was going to search for Mint dist version of .Net but accepted the download option. I got it down to one error (unimplemented function of mvcsm90.dll) before trying similar code you quoted then somehow ended up with about 5 other errors. Iv typed so much junk into wine it needs a re install now so starting to lose interest but will try again tomorrow. Cheers

ps trying to get an adobe air plugin for a usb device to work, that was designed for windows.

Good Luck getting a hardware device with windows drivers to work in wine.

Took a while to realise but its not a Windows driver its just a bog standard HID device.
